evandbob Posted October 27, 2014 #26 Share Posted October 27, 2014 On the October 12 sailing of the Conquest, a guy was flying his drone from deck 11 aft. First he had it hover over the Conquest, then it zoomed off over another Carnival ship (Dream, Breeze)? as that departed from the port. Had quite a range. maybe a 1/2 mile?Other passengers were taking photos, but no security guards were in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOMayhem Posted October 28, 2014 #27 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Back in February, my husband took his drone quadcopter and FPV setup on our Mexican Riviera cruise on the Miracle. To our dismay, as we began packing up for our trip this Saturday on the same ship to Hawaii, Drones were now on the prohibited item list! I contacted a cruise director on facebook who confirmed it, but decided in one last ditch effort that I would email a couple of higher up VPs that I had found on the boards. I received a wonderful reply back from Vicky: So now my husband is super excited he can take his setup and have a blast in Hawaii! Thought I'd share! ~Zara Were you able to take it onthe cruise? Did you have any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted October 28, 2014 #28 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The screeners sure don't get everything. On our August 30th cruise, they missed our dive knife, which has an 8-inch-long blade. It's the first time it's been missed, but then we had to decide what to do. We didn't need to use it on our dives off the ship, but we had brought it for after the cruise when we were flying to Fiji. So, we hid it in the closet until it was time to pack to disembark. How could they have missed a knife that big and dangerous? That's never happened before, and we always pack it where they should be able to see it on the screen easily. Oh yeah, they also missed all our rumrunners. ;) If the knife is turned on edge, it is harder to see. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timologee Posted December 23, 2014 #29 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Just wondering, was he able to take it afterall? Funny you should ask: Items for In Port Use only: Snorkel gear, skateboards, fishing rods (packed), tennis rackets, kites (packed), roller blades/skates, metal detectors, Boogie Boards no more than 42 Inches in length and Drone Cameras. These items must be stored in stateroom. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out to sea! Posted December 23, 2014 #30 Share Posted December 23, 2014 "Dismayed" and "bummed" because one can't take a drone on a cruise?? :eek: What is the world coming to?? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out to sea! Posted December 23, 2014 #31 Share Posted December 23, 2014 That right there is why drones shouldn't be allowed on board. Some idiot already breaking the rules and flying it from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travler27 Posted December 23, 2014 #32 Share Posted December 23, 2014 In my opinion, a drone flying around taking pictures of random strangers in a public or private setting is not much different than someone mounting a camera on their shoe to take pictures up women's skirts. They probably have a valid hobby use but the potential for abuse is significant. A lot of folks these days don't understand boundaries and some of them own drones. I suspect we will hear more on this topic as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted December 23, 2014 #33 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So I assume anyone interested in bringing an unmanned aircraft (drone...ugh...we aerospace engineers hate that word! ;)) in to foreign countries would be familiar with the civil aviation laws of those countries in regards to unmanned aircraft and have the necessary permits and licenses to conduct unmanned civil flights within that country, correct? You all do check that stuff, correct...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&P Luv2Cruise Posted December 23, 2014 #34 Share Posted December 23, 2014 So I assume anyone interested in bringing an unmanned aircraft (drone...ugh...we aerospace engineers hate that word! ;)) in to foreign countries would be familiar with the civil aviation laws of those countries in regards to unmanned aircraft and have the necessary permits and licenses to conduct unmanned civil flights within that country, correct? You all do check that stuff, correct...? I would assume that the OP was aware of legislation etc regarding it's use on land. However, they were cruising to Hawaii, so the same restrictions/permissions should apply to those in their home state. Others travelling to distant ports should check what is required to safely/legally fly their drone in each of their ports of call. I don't own one (and really can't see me ever doing so), but it would have been awesome to have a 'birds eye' view of our past April cruise to Hawaii :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travler27 Posted December 23, 2014 #35 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Except these "birds" can post on YouTube for all the world to see. :eek: Maybe fly alongside and peek in your balcony room.

sunbird54 Posted September 1, 2016 #36 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Errors of their ways? As I read Carnivals response, drones are still prohibited to be used "On" the ship. However, you can use the ship to transport your drone to be used on land at your destination port. I will be on the Carnival Vista in April. Where can I see that in writing that you are allowed to bring the drones? It will not be used on the ship, only at different ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASOXFANN Posted September 1, 2016 #37 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) I understand ports, but why would one want to have a drone on a cruise ship? Do I even want to know :confused: Edited September 1, 2016 by VASOXFANN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsixteencruisers Posted September 1, 2016 #38 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm not sure if you realize, this thread is 2 years old.. I would check Carnivals website for new updates. Some places don't allow drones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino D Posted September 1, 2016 #43 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I will be on the Carnival Vista in April. Where can I see that in writing that you are allowed to bring the drones? It will not be used on the ship, only at different ports. Sunbird, Here is a link to the policy stating they can not be used on board https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3632/kw/drone You might want to print it out and take it to port with you, just in case. As someone posted in the original thread, some ports may have local laws regarding these devices. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
